I've been loving KK's comments on there.

Yessss! I imagine it must've been very difficult for him to open up like that, especially since he's someone who has built up so many walls in order to protect himself. Seol, don't ever betray his trust again, please? My heart can't handle seeing YJ all broken.

And now, looking back on In-ha's words to Seol about him, I can see why she said that. And I appreciate In-ha more for it.

Thank you ep 12. My trust in this drama is restored!

I really dislike putting negative opinions on pages but hmm...

In my opinion, there's been a lack of depth, particularly in the past 2 episodes? Maybe it is in the way it's now being presented because I sense that there's been a change in the tone. As someone who is not a writer, I can't pinpoint what it is but it's like the show has settled into being a standard romantic drama. Whereas before, I could have a discussion over coffee.

I've only read some of the webtoon so as to preserve the mystery element while watching the drama. Yet I still sense something has changed in the drama itself. If you figure out a way to enjoy it again, let me know.

By now, I want less scenes between In-ho and Seol and more with Yoo Jung. Jung has been nearly absent the past 3 or so episodes. Too many for being the main character.

If I had to choose, Jung. In-ho is too much of a loose cannon and I don't see why some people call him perfect. I think he's a bit on the careless side when it comes to his relationships with others. He speaks without thinking. Well Jung, of course we know he has his issues but at this point, I'm more willing to pardon him.

As for your other question, as long as they aren't too silent. I know that too many second leads are only silent, and then mope about not getting the girl. That is not attractive. That's why I never like second leads. Noisy people can be annoying too. ha I think Jung has been vocal about his sincerity towards Seol. I like that.

Something to read while you're not watching new episodes of Cheese in the Trap ( sadface )
Interviews with the cast, part 1?

hmm Based on your drama list, I think you will like it. But in the case you don't like legal jargon at all, you may not, although that's not the only thing driving this drama. The acting is top-notch and I would watch it again just to see them. It's a show where you start off hating the main characters because of how awful they are. Strangely, I ended up loving those same people.

Basically, a bulk of the show is about watching former friends outwit each other, which is quite thrilling. Aside from that though, it's also about the friendships, and those moments give this drama its heart.

Such a harsh life for Bang-ji. Doesn't get any easier for him, eh?

My most anticipated drama of this year. Well so far anyways. You can't go wrong with the PD-writer duo responsible for The Devil and Resurrection AND Lee Sung-min.

yes I love that fireworks scene! So beautifully shot. And heartbreaking, seeing where their relationships are at now.

noooooo I keep forgetting about no episodes next week. :(

Back hugs. One drama trope I never get sick of.

Well I used to think the same. But now I don't see it as bad because it can give people who are considering watching an idea of if the drama so far is good or not. Like others, I'll eventually adjust as it goes on. That and I don't give much attention to MDL ratings anyways, only loosely. They are not to be taken so seriously.

thank you! I was really tired at the time. I had fun. :) Now, time to watch. :D

I'm a bit frustrated because I have a concert to go tomorrow. Is it bad that I'd rather be at home for when the video comes out? Well, I bought the tickets months ago.

I wish more dramas would pre-produce. I read in this article that Park Hae-jin re-filmed a few scenes "to add dimensions to his character". You can't do that with live because you barely have the time to think about such things.

I don't see a love triangle though, aside from in the comments (and one-sided love does not count). I see two guys who used to be close but now can barely look at each other. That makes me wonder what it is that happened that tore them (along with In-ha) apart. Every romantic moment is a window into both Jung and Seol's psyche. They are necessary so that we can see how each character is developing. The drama doesn't make you curious about the two?

I actually don't expect Jung to "turn into a human being", at least not fully. If that does happen, fine. But I'm more interested in finding out Jung's mode of thinking. I want to see how Seol will respond as she learns more about him. I expect that conflict to bring much growth in her as much as in Jung. This drama is hardly about some cheesy romance. It's about life itself.

The drama is not presented as a thriller but as a slice of life. So although it may get dark at times, it will still stay closer to neutral most of the time.

My friend who doesn't watch a lot of kdramas watched 22 eps of this in 30 hours. Not sure how he managed that with a full-time job but this show is that good!

I love both. I am happy that Cheese is popular on MDL and hope it becomes increasingly loved. But I am also wishing that no one breaks Healer's record over at Dramabeans. Every time Healer is mentioned, I still perk up. ha

However the thing about In-ha is only theory and most likely not true.

And as for siblings fighting that way, I guess it's because my siblings and I didn't argue that way. We fought a lot, sometimes even physically. But we never demoralized each other like that.
